Airrage,

Please clarify for me then that any UK worker, in any indsutry is entitled to demand (and then be given) 50% part-time working regardless of circumstances?

So regardless of whether the person has children (otherwise than would be discrimination against non-parents). Regardless of how long they have been employed and regardless of sex every employee is entitled to work as and when they like?

Surely this would bring industry to an end!

I think the area that has sparked the debate, is not because BA were discriminating but because JS showed a complete lack of compromise.

And as a previous posted stated, if she doesn't want her job...there's a few of us who can be bothered to put the effort in, and would very much like the opportunity!
